Abstract

This paper aims to suggest some points of convergence and distinction between the meaning that Kierkegaard assigns to anxiety in the oeuvre The concept of anxiety, and the way Heidegger addresses the same concept through the undertaking of existential analytic in Being and time. Although it may be possible to suggest undeniable similarities in the way both authors understand the phenomenon of anxiety, some distinctions may be set if well analyzed the context in which both thinkers addressed the subject. Whereas Kierkegaard understands anxiety related to sin, faith and freedom, Heidegger attributes to the phenomenon of anxiety an ontological meaning, inscribed in the project of a fundamental ontology, from which becomes possible for Dasein the freedom to choose itself, and thus assume the proper way of being.
